Barroso Challenged on Expert Groups

http://www.corporateeurope.org/docs/expertgroups/Letter-to-Barroso&Kalla... No progress on membership transparency has been made so far and the Commission is on the breach of breaking the deadline it set for itself. ALTER-EU also wrote to Commissioners Verheugen, Potocnik, Piebalgs, Vassiliou and Dimas to ask them how are they going to address specific cases of Expert Groups dominated by business interests in breach with the Commission's own codes of conduct.
